(Context for those who haven't read Tolkien; if you have, feel free to
ignore.)

In "The Lord of the Rings" (J.R.R. Tolkien), Mordor was the
realm of Sauron, the lord of all the forces of evil.
Sauron created a ring to enslave all the world, on which was engraved this
verse/enchantment (actually a portion of a larger verse):
One Ring to rule them all, one Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

If I understand correctly, the point of the allusion is that the quest
for *one and only one* solution is not desireable.
